Book Summary
If I Stay (2009), by Gayle Forman, follows 17-year-old cellist Mia Hall, who survives a car crash that kills her parents and younger brother. In a hospital coma, Mia experiences an out‑of‑body journey, witnessing her devastated family, best friend, and boyfriend rally at her bedside. While flashing back to memories of her musical ambitions, rich family life, and budding romance with Adam, she faces a poignant choice: stay and endure life without her loved ones—or let go and join them. In a moving climax, Adam, fighting to maintain connection, plays a cello piece she performed and reveals her Juilliard acceptance—sparking Mia to squeeze his hand and choose to live. Intense, lyrical, and emotionally resonant, the novel explores themes of love, grief, purpose, and the powerful pull of life versus loss
